AMust-read Books That Are Hitting the Big Screen This YearThe Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane AckermanStarring: Jessica Chastain and Johan HeldenberghRelease Date: July 31, 2017This true story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

The Zookeeper's Wife.B. The Lost City of Z.C. The Dinner.D. The Circle.BI went to the cinema this afternoon to see La La Land. Before going into the screening my sister and I visited the ladies’washroom. As we entered, a little blonde haired girl about 5 years of age opened one of the cubicle(小隔间)doors and ran out of the washroom, hot pants in hand and looking upset and overwhelmed.I went after her. Her dad was standing outside. She quickly gave him the hot pants to dress her. Little sweetheart. She obviously couldn't manage to button up her hot pants. Even though she had her little white tights on, she must have felt embarrassed about the lack of hot pants.I tried to calm and reassure her, saying, “When I saw dad standing outside I knew he was waiting for someone very pretty, but I just hadn't realized how, pretty she was going to be.” She didn't bite; dad smiled though. I offered to bring her back to wash her hands.She was too tiny to squeeze soap out of the dispenser, so I helped her. I could see poor dad out of the side of my eyes .He was right at the door looking in. I went with her to the hand dryer, but she was so tiny that the sensor couldn't even detect her little hands. I lifted her up and her hands were properly dried, well at least a little.I was moved by this little girl’s helplessness in an adult world. I also felt for dad having to trust that his little girl would feel safe and secure for the few minutes out of his sight.I reached out for help. I tried to bridge the gap when a little helpless girl was a few minutes without a trusted adult and a concerned father had to for a moment accept he could not give her the security he wanted for her. It wasn't much but it helped a caring father and his little daughter and for that, I'm grateful.5.Why did the little girl catch the author's attention?A. She got frightened by strangers.B. She needed clothing to cover her.C. She was probably lost in the crowd.D. She was in an embarrassing situation.6.Why did the hand dryer fail to work for the little girl?A. The size of the sensor was too small.B. She was not tall enough to reach it.C. She didn’t know how to operate i t.D. It was drying the author's hands.7.How did the father feel in the story?A. Helpless.B. Shy.C. Shameful.D. CalmCIf you believe in thermometers（温度计）,you should believe in global warming. And if you believe in eating fries with your burger, you should worry more about carbon emissions.It won't happen overnight, but as the planet's climate changes, the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected .Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly. “They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber, the part that we eat,” Nelson says.Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth, and farmers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. “We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range,” Nelson says. “They've been moving up the mountains, but at some paint you run out of mountains to move up.” Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature, especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.Even if you're looking at the direct effects of temperature alone, rice is in trouble. “As nighttime temperatures go up ,the rice is going to have a problem flowering and won't make as many seeds,” Nelson says. In addition to this direct heat consequence, rising sea levels will flood many rice fields and destroy water salinity levels, while droughts will lower production, raise prices, and further shame westerners who are too clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.8.What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “emissions” in Paragraph 1?A. Mixture.B. Pollution.C. Going down.D. Letting off.9.What does the potatoes' development need according to Nelson?A. Enough water and salt.B. Cool temperature at night.C. Much sunshine and fresh air.D. Sudden rise of the temperature.10.The rice is difficult to flower, probably because______.A. sea levels go up suddenlyB. the temperature rises at nightC. many seeds can't be producedD. both temperature and altitude rise11.What is the best title for the text?A. How Does Global Warming Affect WesternersB. How Does The Cool Temperature Affect RideC. What Is The Real Reason For Crops' GrowthD. Three Crops That Won't Survive Minor Climate ChangesDBefore you walked down the aisle—if you even did---did you first agree to take your partner’s name? had you agreed to the bank for updated credit cards, changed your email address, and updated your Facebook?I didn't; and I know plenty of women out there didn't, either. So I was pretty shocked to learn that in a recent survey, over 50 percent of U.S. citizens believe a wife should take her husband's name—and she should be required to do so by law.Author Emily Schafer, a sociology professor at Portland State University, surveyed a representative national sample of 1,200 people tar the study, which found that a larger number of American adults think there needs to actually be a law in place to prevent women from keeping their own name.The most common reason given? The general belief is that women should prioritize（优先）their marriage and their family ahead of themselves. To this, I admit I'm a bit confused, because I don't understand how exactly riot taking your husband’s las t name means you aren't prioritizing your marriage.Now, I didn't take my husband's name for a variety of reasons: I didn’t feel like the name was "mine" and professionally I had built up a reputation as a writer under my maiden（未婚的）name, so I didn't want to lose that. His surname wasn't easy to spell, either; everyone gets it wrong (including my mother—still—and we've been married 13 years).But most of all, I felt like in taking my husband's last name, I was losing a huge sense of self. And while yes, we are a family, I don't want his surname to define me. I'm not his possession.Just like every aspect of motherhood, each woman should be respected for the choices she makes—without having to do anything by law. And we should all be grateful to Lucy Stone—the first American woman to legally maintain her last name after marriage in 1856.Just imagine how difficult that must have been to forego tradition in that time?12.What can be learned about the tradition of taking a husband's name from the survey?A.A law should be there to break the tradition.B. The majority of American adults support the tradition.C. The majority of American women go against the tradition.D. The law requires wives to take their husbands' names in America.13.Why does an American woman generally take her husband's name?A. To value her marriage and family.B. To show honesty to her husband.C. To join in the family of her husband.D. To unite a new family under the same name.14.What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A. Why the author didn't use her husband's name.B. Why the author's mother didn't like her husband.C. How worthy the author's own maiden name was.D. How bored the author became with her husband's name.15.What does the author think of the tradition?A. It's reasonable. B .It isn’t worth caringC. Every coin has two sides.D. It's out of date and confusing.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

What are these advertisements for?A. School websites.B. Bachelor’s degree.C. Online learning.D. Global business.23. You can find all the information above from ______.A. B. C. D. Global businessBMy favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding faults”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely altered my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let’s admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That’s not good. “Believe it or not, people don’t like to listen to negative opinions.”One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others’ feeling. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an “arrogant”person. Now, I find it mush easier to make friends after making some changers!24. Why does the author like the book The Secret?A. Because he’s found the secret of success from it.B. Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.C. Because he’s learnt his father’s characters from it.D. Because it helps him change his attitude towards life.25. What do you know about the author’s father?A. He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.B. He likes finding faults with people around him.C. He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.D. He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.26. The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “______”.A. self-importantB. admirableC. troublesomeD. cold-blooded27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuade readers to be good listeners.B. To share his painful changing experience.C. To tell readers the influence of a book on him.D. To show the result of his father’s negative character.CPeople who have red hair and people who are losing their hair could finally get their own emoji（表情符号）. The Emojipedia website has shown new emojis following demands that they should be more diverse. If its ideas are approved, the new emojis could be added in 2018, alongside new characters that have grey, curly or Afro hair.“New styles focus on appearances that aren’t currently supported in the informal skin tone and hair color pairings（组合）used on many cellphones,” showed one page on the website.

But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.The company’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.An average iceberg contains mote than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects（使转向）its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world.” Mr. Al Shehi added.32. What can we learn about the UAE project?A.
